** So I have a crazy day tomorrow - and since I finally got everything ready - I figured why not announce it early again - so here you go!!!

I had an amazing response to my CT CallZ. I was so thrilled every time a layout audition came in. They were all completely wonderful and it was very difficult to make my decision. In fact I am adding 2 more ladies than I had planned - so out of the 32 applications - I picked 7 of them, so my creative team now has 12 Ladies and 1 Description writer! :)

The hardest part about having a CT Call is that you have to disappoint people and I hope each one of you know how much I appreciate your time and effort that went into applying! Unfortunately I couldn't take all of you and I hope you understand.

To make my selections, I looked at the Happily Ever AfterZ Layout and the galleries of each applicant. I especially looked at how the applicant used my product(s), because I felt that was really important. I did not base my selections on personal relationships.

Check out all the amazing layouts I received:

Some of the applicants also sent in quickpages and I am offering those to you as FREEBIES so a huge thanks to these wonderful ladies who were so generous!

Okay, without further ado, I'm very excited to present to you my new TearZ Crew Members! CONGRATULATIONS - I'm so happy to have you a part of my team and I can't wait to see the amazing layouts that you will create for me!

Thanks to all who contributed QP's to share with the rest of us DeDe Smith fans/customers : ) Of course the layouts presented were awesome. So much talent out there ladies. Hugs -- xoxo! (terri - hawaii)
